BRST Detour Quantization
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the BRST cohomologies of a class of constraint (super) Lie algebras as detour complexes. By giving physical interpretations to the components of detour complexes as gauge invariances, Bianchi identities and equations of motion we obtain a large class of new gauge theories. The pivotal new machinery is a treatment of the ghost Hilbert space designed to manifest the detour structure. Along with general results, we give details for three of these theories which correspond to gauge invariant spinning particle models of totally symmetric, antisymmetric and Kähler antisymmetric forms. In particular, we give details of our recent announcement of a (p, q)-form Kähler electromagnetism. We also discuss how our results generalize to other special geometries.

متن کاملFour approaches to quantization of the relativistic particle
The connection between four different approaches to quantization of the relativistic particle is studied: reduced phase space quantization, Dirac quantization, BRST quantization, and (BRST)-Fock quantization are each carried out. The connection to the BFV path integral in phase space is provided. In particular, it is concluded that that the full range of the lapse should be used in such path in...
متن کاملGauss Law Constraints in Chern-Simons Theory From BRST Quantization
When we discuss knot invariants in terms of Chern-Simons theory [1–6] and the relationship between Chern-Simons field theory and conformal field theory , an important relation is Gauss law constraint in presence of Wilson line, which was first given in ref. [1]. This relation plays an important role in proving that states of Chern-Simons theory satisfy the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation [9–13]...
